While many thought it was an Iraqi child, the mystery has finally been solved and it turns out the boy in question is five-year-old Murtaza Ahmadi from the Jaghori District of Afghanistan’s Ghanzi Province, according to the BBC, who contacted the boy’s father, Arif Ahmadi.

“I told him that we were living in a poor village far from the city and it was impossible for me to get him the shirt,” Murtaza’s father Arif told reporters. "He kept crying for days asking for the shirt until his brother Hamayon helped him make one from the plastic bag to make him happy.”
